One of the favorite Super Bowl Commercials of all time. Budweiser's
9/11 tribute featuring their iconic Clydesdales passing the Statue of
Liberty, crossing the Brooklyn Bridge, and finally pausing and bowing in
a park overlooking the New York City skyline, without the twin World
Trade Center Towers - which were destroyed in the terrorist attacks on
September 11, 2001. This big game ad was broadcast in 2011 in honor of
the 10th year anniversary remembrance of the September 11 attacks.

St. Louis County police say an 11-year-old boy fatally
shot a 16-year-old intruder during a home invasion, but some neighbors
take issue with that account.
Officers responded Thursday
afternoon to a report of a shooting at a north St. Louis County home,
Police Sgt. Brian Schellman told The Associated Press.
Police
believe two suspects had tried to break into the modest ranch-style home
two times earlier in the day. On the third try, they were able to enter
through the front door, Schellman said. There were no signs of forced
entry.
Soon after the 16-year-old entered, the 11-year-old fired a
single shot that struck him in the head, Schellman said. The body of
Lamonte Streeter, who lived just a couple of blocks away, was found in
the front foyer.
Schellman said the shot may have scared away the
second suspect, a 22-year-old suspect who remained jailed Friday after
being arrested on suspicion of burglary. Prosecutors were reviewing the
case to determine if charges should be filed.
Some neighbors told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that they witnessed the shooting and there was no break-in.
Donna
Jackson told the newspaper that she saw the 11-year-old shoot the
16-year-old at point-blank range as they talked near front door.
"It was not a break-in," Jackson, 45, said. "He shot him in the head."
Jazmyne
Clark, 18, who lives two doors down from the shooting, said the
11-year-old was on the front porch when he told the 16-year-old to
approach him. When the 16-year-old reached the front door, the younger
boy shot him, Clark said.
"He was never in the house," Clark told the newspaper. "He wasn't breaking in at all. He was just trying to sell him his phone."
Schellman said evidence indicated the shooting happened inside.
"Although
we will not discuss specifics, physical evidence obtained at the scene
indicates the deceased was shot while inside the residence," Schellman
said in an email. He encouraged anyone with information to contact
police.
Sharon Taylor, who lives next door to where the shooting
happened and said she is a cousin of the 11-year-old's father, said the
boy is not a troublemaker. She doubted the break-in story, however,
calling it unlikely to happen in the middle of the day.
The
11-year-old and his 4-year-old sister were not hurt. Their mother wasn't
home during the incident but is cooperating with an investigation,
Schellman said.

Over-the-top creative pregnancy announcement videos are beginning to
feel like they’re a dime a dozen. Enter YouTube star Tom Fletcher and
his wife, Giovanna, who blow the rest of the competition out of the
water.

The couple announced they were expecting by posting a
video to YouTube titled, “Player 2,” with the caption, “Player Two
Loading.”

In the video, Fletcher climbs into the attic of his
home and brings down a dusty Sega Mega drive console. After setting up
the game, Fletcher sits beside his wife, with his 1-year-old, Buzz, in
his lap.

After he sets Buzz up as Player 1, the words “Player 1
ready” appear next to him. When Giovanna goes to set up Player 2, she
selects the question mark on the screen — and the camera cuts to her
stomach and a picture of an ultrasound. The words “Player 2 Loading” pop
up next to her.

Congratulations Tom and Giovanna! You both have
certainly stepped up the pregnancy announcement game, we aren’t sure
who will be able to top it.

A quick-thinking man is being hailed as a hero in China for climbing outside a fourth-floor window to save a toddler who was dangling off the side of the building. And he did it using only a mop.
Wang Baocheng, of Weifang, a city in Shandong province, heard the girl's cries while walking through the neighborhood.
"I heard her calling for help and quickly ran over," he told CCTV. "I saw that the girl's head was stuck and it was holding her up."
The
child had been left home alone and somehow managed to crawl out the
window. Her head got stuck in the bars, which stopped her from falling.
Wang ran upstairs to an adjacent window and climbed onto the ledge.
"When I got upstairs I grabbed onto the window and used a mop to support her," he told the state-controlled news agency.
While
suspended on the window pane, Wang held the toddler in place with the
mop until her parents came home and brought her inside about 10 minutes
later.
"I think his brave and courageous actions are worthy of praise," a resident of the building told CCTV.
The news agency reports the girl, whose age was not given, was scared but unhurt.
